How to choose Framework for a project - AshokReddy - 01-06-2014
Hi,
Please explain how to choose a particular framework when automating any application. I observed that many people use (Hybrid)Modular +Data Driven framework for automating their application.
Why cant we choose Keyword driven framework if the project duration is more than 2 years?
Thanks
Ashok

you know the purpose of framework.
most of people using modular approach bcoz they are thinking it is easy to start automation, they can produce the test case count from day 1 and build their library file while creating test scripts, also most of people don't want to get into any trouble so they are going to modular approach, keyword drive should start with coding the core program, so people afraid of coding, any new automation testing resource can start with record the test script and make it library, but it is difficult to write keyword driven by a new automation resource.
Keyword driven is better if there is no much change in the application screen otherwise you have to maintain object description details in common place. If you have confident on coding(descriptive programming) better go with keyword driven approach, it is very easy to maintain and easy to create test case very faster than modular approach, but you need at least 2 to 3 weeks to Design and write a simple core program to manage to start create a test case.
